“You Can’t Complain Your Way To Health,
Happiness, and Success!” ~ Will Bowen

Complaining is costly in the workplace! You can’t complain and communicate effectively at the same time. Top leaders and companies around the world hire Will Bowen to teach them how to stop complaining and start succeeding.

More than half-a-million successful people on four continents have been transformed by Will’s inspiring, engaging, and humorous presentations—whether delivered live on stage or virtually on screen. His unique blend of humor and practical wisdom creates breakthrough moments that stick with audiences long after the applause ends.

After decades of unprecedented sales success in insurance, broadcasting, and advertising, July 23, 2006 changed Will Bowen’s life forever—and the lives of tens of millions of people worldwide. On that pivotal day, Will challenged 250 people to break the negative habit of complaining by going 21 consecutive days without uttering a single gripe.

Will gave each person a purple bracelet to serve as a mindfulness tool. The concept was elegantly simple: switch the bracelet from wrist-to-wrist with each spoken complaint and keep switching until you achieve 21 consecutive complaint-free days.

That simple purple bracelet sparked a global phenomenon. The Complaint Free Movement has reached more than 15 million people worldwide and captured international attention on Oprah, Dr. Oz, Forbes, NBC’s Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, ABC World News, Fox News, People, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, and in Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Will has written 5 International Bestselling books that have sold more than 4 million copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 35 languages.

The late Maya Angelou called Will Bowen one of her “great spiritual heroes” and provided the foreword for his #1 International Bestselling book A Complaint Free World: How to Stop Complaining and Start Living the Life You Always Wanted. This transformative work is now required reading for employees, executives, and leaders at companies around the globe.

Will Bowen doesn’t just teach people to stop complaining—he shows them how to start thriving. His message is clear: when you change your words, you change your world.
